Benefits of technology

This patent is about a grill pan that separates fat from food during cooking, allowing the fat to flow away from the food and reducing greasiness. The pan has two different areas for cooking low-fat and high-fat food. The fat produced by the high-fat food flows away quickly, preventing it from contaminating the low-fat food. The pan also reduces smoke and makes cleaning easier.

Problems solved by technology

However, the grill pan or grill cookware has its drawbacks.
For example, when cooking meat, considerable fat is released, and the conventional grill pan or grill cookware cannot drain the excessive fat during cooking, such that the meat is constantly soaked in the fat.
The meat becomes too greasy which is not good for health.
In addition, the accumulated fat produces great amount of smoke during cooking.
Vegetables or eggs are likely to be contaminated by the fat released from cooking the meat on the flat grill pan.
The resulting food is unlikely to be tasty let alone good for health.
Moreover, the flat grill pan cannot drain away excessive fat instantly, such that the fat may stick to the pan, and it can hardly be removed.
In other words, the flat grill pan can be difficult to clean.

first embodiment

[0023]Please refer to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing a first embodiment of the instant disclosure. A grill pan 1 includes a flat portion 10 and two slanting portions 11 as shown in the figures. Each of the slanting portions 11 is connected to the opposite sides of the flat portion 10 respectively, and a height difference H is created between where the flat portion 10 and each of the slanting portions 11 meet. Therefore the flat portion 10 is slightly below the slanting portions 11. The height difference H divides a cooking area for low-fat food A and a cooking area for high-fat food B. The height difference H ranges between 1-10 mm, preferably 1.5 mm. The area of the flat portion 10 and the slanting portions 11 falls in 100-900 cm2.

[0024]Each of the slanting portions 11 is a tilted structure and slopes down from where it is connected to the flat portion 10. The slanting portions 11 are formed with a spout 12 to collect fat generated during cooking food at the cooking area for high-fat food. ...

second embodiment

[0032]Please refer to FIG. 6, showing a top view of the grill pan in accordance with a second embodiment of the instant disclosure. The difference between the first and second embodiment arises from a guiding channel 112. The guiding channels 112 are respectively disposed on the flat portion opposite to the spouts 12. The guiding channels 112 allow fluid communication between the flat portion 10 and the slanting portions 11. The fat on the flat portion 10 produced during cooking flows through the guiding channels 112 to the slanting portions 11 and down to the spout 12. Specifically, when cooking low-fat food on the flat portion 10, fat is also produced. The fat can go through the guiding channels 112 to the spout 12, such that the flat portion 10 is free from excessive fat. Of course, fat removing equipments (for example, scraper) may be used to collect the fat on the flat portion 10 and sweep to the guiding channels 112 and then down to the spout 12. Moreover, the guiding channels...

third embodiment

[0033]Please refer to FIGS. 7 and 8, showing schematic diagrams of a grill cookware of the instant disclosure. The grill cookware 2 includes a grill pan 1, a base 21, two fat tanks 22, at least one heating tube 23 and a control unit 24. The grill pan 1 used in the first embodiment is identical to the grill pan 1 in the second embodiment and is formed in an identical manner. Therefore, the specifics of same are not repeated herein. The grill pan 1 is disposed on the base 21. The base 21 has two fat tank holders 211 close to the spout 12 of the grill pan 1 for accommodating the fat tanks 22. The fat flowing out from the spout 12 of the grill pan 1 is collected in the fat tanks 22. The base 21 may also have two handles 212 at both ends to facilitate the grill cookware 2 handling.

[0034]In addition, the fat tanks 22 may be mechanically attached to the fat tank holders 211 of the base or through non-mechanically means. For example, each fat tank 22 may be retractably disposed on the fat t...

Abstract

A grill pan includes a flat portion and two slanting portions. The slanting portions are connected to each side of the flat portion respectively. Each of the slanting portions is formed with a spout positioned opposite to where the flat portion and the slanting portion meet. The slanting portions are slightly higher than the flat portion to divide a cooking area for low-fat food and a cooking area for high-fat food, and the slanting portions slope downward from the flat portion to allow any fluid on the cooking area for high-fat food to flow toward the spout instead of the cooking area for low-fat food during cooking.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The instant disclosure relates to a grill pan and a grill cookware using the same; in particular, to a grill pan having a flat portion for cooking low-fat food and two slanting portions connected to each side of the flat portion for cooking high-fat food and a grill cookware using the same.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]People used to cook food directly in the flame to heat it up and then serve. Alternatively, grill or the like is used and food is placed on top of it to distance from the flare and prevent from burning. As technology advances, cookware in all shape and size has been well-developed to cook under bare flame or electric heating. The temperature is relatively easy to be controlled under this circumstance so as to keep the taste of the food and desired cooking status. Conventional grill pan, grill cookware or the like allows user to control the temperature and flame with ease. The food can be thoroughly cooked witho...
